He's so great.
Fetterman claps back at Ocasio-Cortez on government funding vote
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who announced days ago that he would vote for a House-passed funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, said he doesn’t care about firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) harsh criticism of Democratic senators who will vote to advance the controversial...www.yahoo.com
He's interesting and much more likeable than most Democrats in the Senate. He may have some significant mental issues though (I got by the pay wall by using immersive reader on the browser and reader mode on the iPhone) - this is long but an easy read:
He might have mental health issues.
True, but it's apparently very concerning for his doctors, wife, staff, and others in the Senate.
Hell, I’d take his mental issues any day over most of these narcissistic egomaniacs
lmao Oh, NOW they're all worried about him. They weren't worried about him running for Senate when he couldn't form a sentence. But NOW that he's making sense, they're all concerned.
If you read the articles, you'd see that it started after he was elected. The problem before the election was that he had a stroke. The stroke could have led to some of his mental health problems though.
Riiiii-iiiight.
No one except Republicans said a stroke was a problem. That's the entire point. His supporters then didn't worry about his stroke affecting his ability to be a Senator.
Have you never heard of politics? The dude has a couple conservative positions on issues, like his strong support of Israel, but he’s still mostly voting in lockstep with Democrats. For example, he voted against nominees like Hegseth, making those 100 percent by Democrats. He’s still a Democrat, just not a “squad” Democrat.
Wow! I love both Albert Brooks and Bob Einstein. Never knew they were brothers
Didn’t say it wasn’t. Neither Democrats nor Republicans agree on every issue. They shouldn’t. Why are you doing the two step boogie?
A kid i went to middle school with had the name Richard Head (Dick Head). A guy that works in my division has the name Jefferson Davis. I used to go to the Iron Pit gym in Bloomington and there was a member there whose name was Wayne Newton.
Ha. I used to go to the iron pit gym. Back then they had a board for people who benched over 500lbs to sign. Never seen that anywhere else
Reminds me of the old Soviet Union, when disagreeing with the government could get you thrown into an insane asylum because you had to have had 'mental disorders' to disagree with the Party.

They are really going after him.
‘He needs to resign’: Democrats react with quiet shock to damning Fetterman profile
Pennsylvania senator broke down crying and threatened to skip Hegseth vote, hid serious car wreck that injured his wife, New York Magazine reports
I am torn. On the one hand, I want someone going through health issues to have the freedom to step back and say, "This isn't for me anymore, I need to focus on myself." On the other hand, it really sounds like the Dem establishment is coming for the guy, which is exactly the wrong thing to do politically. For all his faults, he's the kind of guy we need to make the Dems a winning team again.
OMG you caught me out in starting to believe that the dissident left is sadly becoming the establishment.
No, no, I wouldn't say it's the case, either, but the fact that I went there by default is a sad commentary on how close it is.
Biden was co-opted by his handlers and went wayyyyy left. Squad politics until they lost the house and were cockblocked. Identity woke politics at every opportunity. They replaced him with walz an identity politics cuck and a black female who is the second most liberal Dem senator to serve in the 21st century. The Dem that has stepped into the leadership role of the party and the only name with any juice at all is more woke squad politics AOC. Woke is the Dem part
Trump and MAGA are a huge part of it. But they didn't happen in a vacuum. So we have to look at what came before them, too.
His entire political history was that of a moderate. I was convinced we were getting moderate joe. But when he took up for equal pay for the uswnt without recognizing their deal was collectively bargained it was a sign. Then the summer of love. His attack on gas and oil. Just opening the border with title 42 remain in Mexico etc, eviction stays, the vow to be “transformative” with cradle to grave benes choosing Harris it was clear we got woke joe not the joe we all knew and were okay with
Biden in his life has never veered anywhere. He's always found a way to position himself in the dead center of the Democratic coalition, so at best, he's drifted. As the party has moved, he's moved with it, but he never veered.
